Description

These Nebraska-style grilled kabobs offer a delightful balance of tangy and savory flavors, achieved through a simple yet effective marinade of red-wine vinegar, soy sauce, and ketchup. The lean pork becomes tender and juicy as it absorbs the aromatic blend of garlic, onion salt, and pepper during the marinating process. Ideal for backyard barbecues or casual weeknight dinners, these kabobs are easy to assemble and cook quickly over medium-high heat. They pair wonderfully with a fresh fruit salad or garlic bread, making for a complete and satisfying meal that brings home-style comfort to your table.

Directions

  1. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the red-wine vinegar, cooking oil, soy sauce, ketchup, onion salt, garlic powder, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the cubed boneless lean pork into a resealable plastic bag.
  3. Pour the marinade over the pork in the bag, seal it, and massage the bag gently to ensure the meat is evenly coated.
  4. Refrigerate the marinated pork for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor, turning the bag occasionally.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Remove the pork from the marinade, draining any excess liquid, and reserve the remaining marinade for brushing later.
  7. Thread the pork cubes onto 4- to 5-inch skewers, alternating with any desired vegetables or fruits if using.
  8. Place the skewers on the preheated grill.
  9. Grill for 8 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with the reserved marinade during the first half of cooking, until the pork is cooked through and nicely charred.
  10. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
